THE LIGHT OF LOVE.

NJ the flush of the summer dawn,
Fhen the gate of pearl uncloses,
~ 4 Illmmers along the dewy lawn
Ind shimmers amid the roses;
q II wakes the little drops of dew
40 quiverings of delight,
And threads the aisles of the forest through
On the trail Of the flying night.
,Go[t Is the gleam of the summer stars
4. When the feverish day is over,
!, When the fays are afloat in silvery cars,
And the dusky moth is rover,
When over the couch of the dreaming flowers
The mists Of the fountain creep,
And the lang,iid earsof the drowsy hours
Is y Are wooed by song of the deep.
But the dazzling hues of the morning fall,
And dull are its golden lances,
4 And all the light of the stars grows pale
( In my darlings tender glances;
For the stars may burn with thousand dyes,
And myriad sunbeams fall,
But the light of love in a woman's eyes
y Is the purest light of all.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

How Leonidas Tried to Hold the Pass ut
ThermOpyl0.
Leonidas was prominent editor of Sparta,
in the sweet long ago.
His paper, the Pdlladium, was noted for its
opposition to the interstate commerce bill of
that period, and when the obnoxious meas
ure became law Leonidas was as hot as q
cook stove.
Like the law which is now distracting
the minds Of the people of the United States
and overworking the commissioners, this an
cient statute prohibited the issue of passes
just before the law began to do its deadly
work Mr.. Xerxes, president of the Their
mopyle Railway Company, issued circular,
of which the following is copy:
form 291.l 2-142.0OO
THERMoPYLE RAILWAY Co.
OFFICE OF Coz. w. H. xERxEs, President
LoCRIs, April ~, 4SO b. c.
Dear Sir-As you are aware, the interstate
commerce law, which goes into effect on the
5th proximo, forbids under severe penalties
the issuing of free passes or the honoring of
those now issued.
You will, therefore, return to the general
offices of the ThermopylH Railway Company
the annual pass now issued in your name, as
the same will not be available for passage after
the date named.
Regretting the necessity for issuing this cir
cular, beg to remain, yours faithfully,
WILLIAM HENRY XERxEs,
President and Genl Freight and Ticket Agent.
When Leonidas received this intimation he
was even more wroth than when the bill
passed.
The pass was young and beautiful one,
with the figures 4sO in large gilt letters all
over the face, and Leonidas had not exhib-
tied it more than three times to the admiring
gaze of the conductors of the line.
Then again the fishing season was about
to open, and he intended to take run down
into Thessaly county every Saturday after the
paper had gone to press, and indulge in the
pleasant sport of lazily drowning worms.
He had several other little excursions
planned for the summer, one Of which was
to visit his girl in Ohio.
Leonidas was therefore sorrowful when he
learned that his nice new pass, which was
Just ready to blossom forth into career OF
usefulness had been cut down in its fresh
young beauty.
Then he made brave resolution.
He resolved not to give it up but die in its
defense if necessary.
He died, as the sequel will show.
Colonel Xerxes was determined to see the
law enforced, and when Leonidas neglected
to return the pass at the appointed time,
Xerxes sent postal card to inquire the
wherefore.
Leonidas replied that Xerxes might go to
Halifax, but Xerxes went not.
Halifax was not on his line of road.
He went for Leonidas instead, having first
called out the militia to assist in taking the

TRAVERs STORIES.
A Manufacturing Process Now Busily En-
gsSing the Humorists.

A Misunderstanding Process Now Busily En-
gsging the Humorists.
The New York papers are busily engaged
in printing stories Of the late Mr.. Travers, for
which there seems to be Q popular demand.
Not to be outdone in this department Of
humor, we have laid in large supply Of
hyphens, which, being judiciously distrib-
uted through chestnuts Of the proper age, are
warranted to give the true Tiavers flavor.
The following anecdotes are warranted to
be as genuine as those which other journals
are publishing:
Once when Mr.. Traven was boy his
mother was instructing him in history, when
she asked:
snow, tell me, my dear, why we celebrate
Washington's birthday more than your
paps'sr'
II d-d-don't know, m-m-mamma," replied
the precocious child, ''unless it's 'c-c-cause he
n-n-never t-t-told lille"
When boy his playmates always called
him "Bill," which accounts for the follow
ing:
One day his mother asked him where he
had been.
"P-p-playin' with J,j,jule Harris l-l-little
b-b-boy," he replied.
"Hush, my dear; Mr.. Harris name Is
Julius, not julie"
~ s-ssuppose, them" replied young
Travers, ''t-t-that m-m-my n-n-name is
B-b-bilious."
One day the youthful wit was playing
with neighbors little girl who remarked
proudly:

You're sound asleep at last,
You restless little elf
Wee image of myself,
Old Morpheus holds you fast
Rest, tiny, tired feet
Rest, chubby, meddling hands.
You, my imp from Fairylandi
Repose in slumber sweet.
The livelong day, my boy,
Like bee among the flowers,
You've slipped from all the hours
Life's honey-childhood's joy.
So peaceful is your brow,
Methinks the angels fan
